That sounds strange and uncomfortable, I know, but I’ve seen a boost in focus and productivity since we started doing them.

Even better, whenever I need to work on something that needs concentration and focus, I go on our office’s terrace (with a beautiful view to Ceausescu’s Pallace) and I do my work, standing.

Here’s the top 3 reasons why I believe that standing meetings & work can boost your productivity:

1. You don’t procrastinate. You’re standing, so you don’t really feel like procrastinating or your feet will hurt :-) .

2. Better blood circulation. When standing / walking / running, your blood flow improves, your heart gets more blood, your brain gets more oxigen, therefore chances are you’ll be smarter & brighter ;-) .

3. You become smarter :-) . Not sure why, but whenever I work on something and I’m standing, I instantly get better and brighter ideas.

Try it out and let me know what you think!
